[edit] Steinbuch lawsuit
In June 2005, Robert Steinbuch, who says that he is the lover Cutler referred to as "RS" on her blog, filed a lawsuit against her,[2] seeking over $75,000 in damages. Steinbuch's complaint, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., describes the case as "a civil action for invasion of privacy for public revelation of private facts."[3] She is represented by Atlanta lawyer, Matthew C. Billips, and D.C. lawyer, John R. Ates. [4]
Steinbuch also filed a $20 million suit against her in Arkansas, where he lives.[5] The same article reported that cable television channel HBO and entertainment company Disney, who Steinbuch also sued, are working on a TV series about her story. The Arkansas case has been dismissed for forum non conveniens.[6]
